Punch: From third-rate anchor to top chef

Chapter 252

Seeing a group of rich second generations turn around and leave, the middle-aged manager was overjoyed.

He quickly gave Li Xiao a grateful glance, and then bowed and followed behind them. Although it looked like the matter was over, he didn't dare to take it lightly.

After sending this group of rich second generations out the door, the middle-aged manager was really relieved to see the backs of several people leaving slowly. He quickly turned around and rushed to the private room on the second floor.

in the parking lot,

A group of rich second generations walked towards their sports car. One of them, who was not open-eyed, hesitated for a moment, and asked:
"Brother Yu, what is the background of that guy?"

Chang Tianyu glared at the other party angrily, if this guy didn't often pay the bill, he would have slapped him.

He curled his lips and said with some disdain:
"It's a friend of my sister's. My sister has begged on me, so I'll let him do it once."

"So that's the case, hell, I also said what kind of background does that guy have."

"In other words, what background can be greater than Brother Yu's?"

Of course, Chang Tianyu's statement was completely putting money on his own face, and the squad leader didn't beg him at all.

Instead, just look at how far he rolls, but in this case, how can he tell his younger brothers, how can he still have the face to mix in this circle after he tells it?
But I really didn't expect that a guy who looked so ordinary could make the second lady of the uncle's family furious.

He had forgotten how long he hadn't seen his second sister get angry. It seemed that he had to find someone to find out who this guy was. Could it be that the eldest sister liked him?

Hey, it's not impossible, that guy is indeed a bit more handsome than himself, and it seems reasonable to be favored by the second sister?
The middle-aged manager on the other side has already returned to the room, and he thanked with gratitude:

"I really appreciate the help of the guests. If the guests didn't help, I don't know how things will develop."

"In order to express my little gratitude, today's customer's service fee is free, and I can give the customer a 8% discount."

Li Xiao quickly waved his hand and said:

"It's too polite, there's no need to do this, I've already paid the money, so let's forget about the discount."

"It's just a small matter. After all, the other party stepped on the face. I'm just fighting back in self-defense. Helping you is just incidental."

"This"

The middle-aged manager was a little confused. This is someone who can scare away the young master of Changhong Group with just one phone call.

That's a lot of energy, obviously this master's background is much bigger than that, otherwise Chang Tianyu wouldn't be able to give in so easily.

You must know that it is embarrassing to be soft like this. If you don't handle it well, you may be ridiculed by people in the circle for a long time. If it is not necessary, you will never leave like this.

Therefore, it is definitely not easy for these young masters to back down like this. Thinking of this, the manager also understands why the other party doesn't need his side to make a discount.

Brother Young Master who can easily deal with a group of tens of billions, those hundreds of thousands are really nothing to them.

The manager hesitated for a moment, and thought of a better way. He took out a card with black background and gold lettering from his pocket, and handed it to Li Xiao respectfully with both hands:

"This card is the black gold membership card of Ke Ruyun. From now on, as long as the card number is reported when booking a seat, we will arrange a private room as soon as possible. Usually, it only takes one or two days in advance to reserve a seat. Of course. , For holidays like Chinese New Year, please try to be more than ten days earlier.”

"In addition, the private rooms booked with this black gold membership card do not need to charge additional service fees, which can be regarded as some small discounts for distinguished guests."

Oh?
Li Xiao curiously took the card from the opposite side. The card was very heavy, and it was obvious from a glance that it was made of metal, with a comfortable matte texture.

The card is also very simple, only the name of [Ke Yunlai] written in Song typeface, and a string of numbers representing the number.

The reason why he accepted the card was not because he wanted the other party to waive the service fee, but because he could book the room as quickly as possible.

Although He Beibei can also book a room within two or three days, it is impossible to bother someone to help book a room every time he comes to eat.

Who knows what kind of favors or promises they made in order to reserve a room for Li Xiao in advance.

Favor debts are easy to owe, but he doesn't want to owe so much. After all, he only helped once in the past, so how can he demand so much?
After all, he plans to come here for a meal after a while, and do a live broadcast by the way.

After all, the per capita price here is only two to three thousand, but it is higher than the evaluation of many high-end restaurants in big cities that are three to four thousand.

Hearing the other party talk about Chinese New Year, Li Xiao suddenly thought of something and asked quickly:
"By the way, Manager Cai wonders if you have a room for 20 people on the second day of the Lunar New Year? No, if your rooms are all this big, a room for 15 people will be enough."

When Li Xiao first heard that he wanted a room for 20 people on the second day of the Lunar New Year, Manager Cai felt nervous.

The room for 20 people is considered a large room in Keruyun, and the number is very small, not to mention the special time of the second day of the new year, all of them have been booked out early.

However, when Li Xiao changed his words and said that 15 people are fine, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief, patted his chest and said:

"Although the time is a bit rushed, Mr. Li can rest assured that there will definitely be a room for you here, but"

"But the scenery may not be as good as this one, and it will be slightly inferior. Is this okay?"

Hearing 'but' Li Xiao was still worried about what was going on, but when he heard that the scenery was not so good, he quickly said with a smile:

"It's just that the scenery isn't that good. There's nothing wrong with it. We didn't come to eat to see the scenery."

After the two exchanged pleasantries, Manager Cai didn't stay in the room too much, and left quickly.

At this time, the other people in the room also stopped their whispering, and looked at Li Xiao with curious eyes.

He felt that the eyes of the audience were all on him, and he was a little embarrassed.

Peng Yuqing smiled and said:

"It's a good thing that little brother Li Xiao drove people away with his hands and eyes, otherwise this meal might not be finished."

Xie Bing was not as worried as Peng Yuqing, with a bit of disdain on his face:

"Hey, there's nothing to be afraid of a few punks, but they're a little richer. According to me, I should just throw them out."

"You, you are still that hot-tempered, I said, can you restrain yourself a little bit, but before you retire, you should flatter and give gifts to the leaders, why did you become like this now?"

"Hey, let me tell you, I'm used to being free and easy, and I don't want to be a dog to others."

? ? ! !
As soon as Li Xiao heard this tone, he felt a little headache, good guy, this wave is not smooth, and the wave is rising again, you don't want to be a dog, that is to say, others get benefits by being a dog?

He hurriedly said:
"Okay, okay, let's get to the table quickly, I guess it will be ready to serve after so long, so don't mention the previous things."

Peng Yuqing also seemed to know Xie Bing's temperament, and shook his head with a wry smile, but he didn't take the other party's words to heart.

Xie Bing did not shut up, but this time his target was not Peng Yuqing, but Li Xiao.

"In other words, it's really a pity that Xiao Xiao doesn't become an athlete with her physical fitness."

Hearing Xie Bing's words, Peng Yuqing was finally unstoppable, and said disapprovingly:

"What kind of athletes are you doing in this age? Athletes can't make any money. What's the use of the minimum guarantee of more than 2000 yuan per month after retirement?"

"When I was young, I trained crazily day and night, and when I was old, I was sick all over my body. Idiots like you and me would become athletes."

"Xiao Xiao, don't listen to his nonsense. Besides, you are too old. Being an athlete now is much more tiring than a young boy."

But Li Xiao's answer was beyond everyone's expectation.

"I haven't considered being a full-time athlete, but as an amateur athlete, I can give it a try."

"After all, I also know that my own physical fitness is indeed better than many ordinary people, and you should have discovered it when you tested it last time."

"My running speed can even exceed the standard of a first-class athlete by a large margin, but like Brother Qing said, it is impossible for me to become a full-time athlete."

"After all, I have to support my family here, but if I can participate in the competition as an amateur, it would be a good choice to win glory for the country."

After hearing his words, the room immediately fell silent.

Things like athletes are too far away from ordinary people, let alone athletes who can win glory for the country.

But after being silent for a while, Xie Bing clapped his hands and said excitedly:

"Amateur? Amateurs are fine too. If you're interested, some of us old fellows will jointly propose a recommendation to the provincial team and ask the team to give you a test. As long as you pass the test, it shouldn't be a big problem to get a place for the competition. "

"But if you want to participate as an amateur athlete, I am afraid that the results must be very good."

Saying that, Xie Bing shook his head and smiled wryly
"But based on the results you tested in the gymnasium before, the problem shouldn't be too big."

At this time Ding Yougang interrupted suddenly, with surprise in his tone:

"Li Xiao, you are not really going to be an athlete. It is very hard work. I have heard that their training is not acceptable to ordinary people. You have to think about it."

Think about it clearly, Ding Yougang is just concerned about himself, after all, the industry of athletes is really far away from ordinary people.

In many cases, some rumors even demonize athletes, such as the nonsense that long-term training leads to a shortened lifespan, Li Xiao actually doesn't quite believe it.

Besides, no matter how tiring the training is, I should still be able to accept it. After all, ordinary people can accept the training.

I can definitely do it myself, after all, I have 4 recovery points, not to mention anything else, the recovery ability alone is much better than most people.

Hearing Li Xiao's promise, Xie Bing almost jumped up excitedly.

He was about to hold Li Xiao's hand when he came up, and he seemed to want to take Li Xiao to the provincial team for a physical test right now.

Li Xiao was a little dumbfounded by Xie Bing's appearance, he quickly said:
"Wait, don't you still need to find someone to help me apply? And it's past 6 o'clock now, even if it's past, I'll be off work already. Let's finish our meal today and then talk about it."

Seeing Li Xiao's persuasion, Xie Bing came back to his senses, patted his forehead and laughed loudly:
"Looking at how excited I am, I am so excited. With Xiao Li, our Guangdong provincial team can add another strong player."

Just as Li Xiao wanted to be modest, Peng Yuqing echoed beside him:
"Although Lao Xie often runs the train with his mouth full, he really didn't brag this time."

"Li Xiao's physical fitness can crush most people without training. As long as he has proper training, I think he can really get a very good ranking."

"Of course, I said this ranking is an international ranking, not a domestic one."

After chatting for another 2 minutes, the arrangement for tomorrow was confirmed, and the dishes here finally started to be served one after another.

The food was delivered by an equally beautiful young lady with a bright smile on her face:

"Good evening, guests. This is [Golden Soup Fish Maw Chicken Soup]. It's just out of the oven and it's very hot. Be careful when drinking it."

[Ding dong, check in successfully, the gourmet restaurant you checked in is: [Ke Ruyun]]

【Top ingredients with unpretentious craftsmanship】

【Fresh ingredients just need to be cooked simply】

[Feng Runze, who doesn't love Jiangshan and loves food, escorts this store]

【The free inorganic vegetable garden guarantees the quality of vegetables】

[Chef: 5-star senior chef: Joan Kaixin]

[Chef: 4-star senior chef: Guo Chongyang]

[Chef: 4-star senior chef: Li Yuhu]

[Chef: 4-star senior chef: Zhang Chunlai]

[Chef: 3-star senior chef: Zhao Sanchun]

[Chef: 3-star senior chef: Yang Kun]

"Ding dong, the rating system, [Keruyun] has a rating of 6 stars."

"Ding Dong, you have received a 6-star gourmet store check-in reward"

[Attribute: Speed ​​1]

[Attribute: Recovery 1]

[Attribute: Strength 1]

【Ability: good at learning】

[Ability introduction: You have a pair of intelligent eyes, you can see through the surface of things to see their essence, and your learning speed is different from ordinary people]

[Money: 1000000 yuan]

【Fame: 60】

[Fame introduction: 1 point of fame will allow 10 strangers to know you through different channels]

Seeing the evaluation this time, Li Xiao couldn't help but secretly gasped, good guy, it's actually a 6-star restaurant.

Originally, he only thought that the star rating here would definitely be very high, but it should hover around four or five stars.

Guaranteed 4 stars, with a high probability of 5 stars, but he never expected to get a 6 stars, which is really surprising.

But when he saw the chef's lineup, his surprise eased a little.

There are a total of 6 star chefs, the lowest is a three-star chef, and the highest is a five-star chef. This lineup of chefs is a bit too luxurious.

Li Xiao even estimated that even if these people singled out two or three, they would probably be able to support the appearance of a high-end restaurant.

Halfway to death, it would not be too difficult to start anew and open a restaurant with one Michelin star and one black pearl.

And according to the description of the system, the materials used here are all good materials with high cost performance, so it seems not so surprising that such a score can appear.

In addition, the rewards obtained by punching the card are quite good. The three attribute points are very useful attribute points, and they also reward passive skills that are very powerful after listening to them.

The reason why people can keep getting stronger is because people can keep learning and improving. The more things they learn, the more knowledge and abilities they can acquire.

But I don't know how much difference is there between this learning speed and ordinary people?Just slightly better?Or is it too much?

But this time was not the time to pay attention to these things, he looked in front of himself.

[Golden Soup Fish Maw Chicken Soup] is one serving per person, and six white soup bowls with lids are placed in front of the six people one by one.

As soon as the white soup lid is opened, a strong smell of chicken soup rushes straight into the nostrils.

As the saying goes, there is one or two gelatin for 10 catties of fish, which shows the preciousness of fish gelatin. Some common fish gelatin costs several hundred yuan per catty, not to mention some precious species.

And the bowl of [Golden Soup Fish Maw Chicken Soup] in front of me uses relatively precious fish maw.

Red chicken and red-billed carp maw, in the isinglass, red-billed carp maw is a well-known species, and is called the gold in the sea by many seafood shop owners.

This kind of fish maw is even more valuable than abalone of the same level, and its circulation is also stronger. You may not be able to exchange a large box of dried abalone for cash immediately in the seafood market.

But if you have red chicken and red-billed carp glue at the same price, even if the boss takes a loan, he will buy your product.

There are four most famous types of red-mouthed carp glue, known as the four big red-mouthed fish.

Refers to Taishan Chizui, Red Chicken Chizui, Zhanjiang Chizui, Daer Chizui.

Among them, the red chicken and red-billed carp glue is the best, with delicate meat and the strongest nourishing effect.

According to the introduction on the menu, the male belly of the red chicken and red-billed carp is used here, and the price is more than [-]% more expensive than the female belly. Of course, the taste and nutritional value are also higher.

Li Xiao checked the information before, and the current price of a catty of red chicken and red-billed carp maw is as high as 16000 yuan.

So when he saw the price of each bowl of [Golden Soup Fish Maw Chicken Soup] was as high as 580 yuan, he was not too surprised.

After all, the cost of raw materials is here, it is too cheap, and there is no way for others to give much fish maw.

Compressing the price puts the cart before the horse. Besides, people who can come to this kind of place to eat don't care whether a bowl of soup sells for 580 yuan or 58 yuan.

Use a spoon to scoop up a spoonful of golden chicken soup, which is very thick.

The rich soup, hanging with thin oil, is as smooth as silk and beautiful as poetry, as if the rhythm of the dance is intertwined.

The golden soup that fell from the spoon back into the bowl stirred up a richer aroma.

Seeing that no one was using their chopsticks, Li Xiao hurriedly told Ding Chunqiu to move his chopsticks first, after all, at the dinner table, either the person with the highest status would move the chopsticks first, or the oldest person would move the chopsticks first.

There is no so-called distinction between superiors and subordinates here, of course it can only be based on age.

After all, all of you here are young people, even the two elder brothers who have retired are only in their 30s, and the only elderly person is Ding Yougang's father.

Ding Chunqiu didn't delay either, after being polite, he picked up a spoon and invited him to eat.

After taking a sip, Ding Chunqiu's eyes brightened. Although he has been in business for decades and has been to many dinner parties, he seldom comes to such a high-end place, even less to drink such excellent chicken soup.

With Ding Chunqiu taking the lead, the others started to move one after another, after all, just the smell of this chicken soup makes people's index fingers twitch.

Li Xiao also put the chicken soup in the spoon into his mouth. The golden chicken soup does not contain any particles, and the thick gelatinous texture makes the mouth feel smooth.

The rich flavor of chicken and the subtle fragrance of fish maw conquer the taste buds on the tongue in just a moment.

The strong and rich aroma is unique to the mellow aroma of red chicken and red-billed carp maw. After a long time of stewing, the flavors of fish maw and native chicken are completely integrated.

Li Xiao drank half a bowl in a row before stopping the movement of his hands. He exhaled a long breath of white air, feeling his whole body became transparent, as if he had been massaged by a skilled technician.

Moreover, the other party seemed to know his body well, every inch of muscle was released, and the fatigue accumulated deep in the muscles for many days disappeared.
